520 3# ‡aDocuments nature and evolution of microclimate zones and associated geomorphic processes and landforms in McMurdo Dry Valleys, and discusses in relation to assessing evolution of landforms and climate change on Mars. Defines three dry valley microclimate zones (coastal thaw, inland mixed and stable upland) on basis of atmospheric temperature, soil moisture and relative humidity. These zones are sensitive to changing climate, which can impact distribution and morphology of features at macroscale (e.g. slope asymmetry, drainage-basin asymmetry and gullies); mesoscale (e.g. contraction-crack polygons, solifluction lobes, gelifluction lobes and debris-covered glaciers); and microscale (e.g. tafoni, salt weathering and surface pitting, desert pavements and duricrusts)
